Over the past decade, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become an indispensable tool for
transcriptome-wide analysis of differential gene expression and differential splicing of …

The proper activities of enhancers and gene promoters are essential for coordinated
transcription within a cell. Although diverse methodologies have been developed to identify …

How enhancers control target gene expression over long genomic distances remains an
important unsolved problem. Here we investigated enhancer–promoter communication by …

Regulation of biological processes typically incorporates mechanisms that initiate and
terminate the process and, where understood, these mechanisms often involve feedback …

Abstract RNA polymerase II (Pol II) core promoters are specialized DNA sequences at
transcription start sites of protein-coding and non-coding genes that support the assembly of …

Precise spatio–temporal control of gene activity is essential for organismal development,
growth, and survival in a changing environment. Decisive steps in gene regulation involve …

Abstract The RNA World Hypothesis suggests that prebiotic life revolved around RNA
instead of DNA and proteins. Although modern cells have changed significantly in 4 billion …

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) direct a remarkable number of diverse functions in development
and disease through their regulation of transcription, RNA processing and translation …

How transcription affects genome 3D organization is not well understood. We found that
during influenza A (IAV) infection, rampant transcription rapidly reorganizes host cell …

The role of histone modifications in transcription remains incompletely understood. Here, we
examine the relationship between histone modifications and transcription using …
